Top flight hardware with that small store feel, but the people are always very helpful. Many times Id rather go here than Home Depot, and they have pretty much everything you need

Elston always has what Im looking for. And if you just dont want to walk around the mammoth hardware stores. Great, friendly and helpful staff. The prices are good and it just reminds me of the old days when all we had were hardware stores...

They have a little bit of everything since they are a smaller store compared to the big box stores. However, you can find just about whatever you need here from housewares, grills, plumbing, electrical, etc. They even carry some hard to find items especially in plumbing. It may cost a little more, but not by much. The employees are always friendly and helpful when I deal with them and even let me bring my dog in on a hot day. Ive never had any problems here and keep going back.

I randomly stopped in to check for a fix for some plumbing & to see if they had radiator automatic vents. The staff was very helpful, first in recognizing I wasnt a regular & 2nd in offering help instead of me wandering aimlessly. The gentleman that helped me was friendly asking me details about the project to assess my needs and offering a number of options. Based in the project he even realized what areas I was likely working in.Surprisingly for the size they have a good tool selection most of the goods you need to complete a home project small to intermediate. This is not a supply store but definitely a good residential hardware store.

Sometimes it pays to shop in a simple hardware store, instead of big box. Sometimes small box is more convenient and Elstons is a simple, friendly and knowledgeable place to shop for DIYers,

Love this Ace Hardware! Just found Raul to be a bid rude, and lacking a customer friendly tone. Everyone else is always so helpful. Nice store.

Nice friendly staff every time I shop at this very locally owned (Im assuming) store. Feels like Im entering one of those shops in a small town. No rush, folks who shop here are pretty chill too.

Review №33

I dont like to go there because the neighborhood hardware stores always more expensive.. But when I do go the customer service is great. The employees are knowledgeable of their products and their locations. They give reliable information and fast service. I just went to get some keys made this time

Review №34

They have a lot of stuff.

Review №35

As a hardware store goes, I feel that Ace stores are a bit more down to earth for those trying to do smaller projects, so they do have a particular niche which I am particularly drawn towards. However, it is a chain and therefore doesnt offer anything special that would warrant anything more than 3 stars in this case. However, the prices are competitive and it is a good option in the area

Excellent local hardware store, with an huge selection despite being a smaller store. They can cut keys well, provide a variety of custom wood and glass cuts, and have all of the usual tools and household items youd want. They were also super helpful when I needed to urgently change a diaper recently :-)

Review №43

This is truly a great little neighborhood hardware store. Its amazing how much truly quality merchandise they have inside. The employees are always helpful and knowledgeable. The prices are a little higher than say Menard or home Depot etc but youre paying for the convenience. Sometimes you just need something in a hurry and dont want to deal with the huge stores, driving that distance parking. Im going to this store in just a little while, need vacuum storage bags. Fall clothes come out. Summers are vacuum packed away. Visit you wont dissapointed.

Review №48

I wanted a book shelf cut into smaller sections and the employee who cut it did not do it in a 90 degree angle and when I asked him why he didnt cut it at the mark correctly, he just waved at me and went somewhere. Definitely would not recommend!

Great neighborhood hardware store. I always find EXACTLY what I need. The employees are extremely helpful and patient. (A lot of times I do not know the proper names or the tools but they listen to what I need it for and they are always able to assist me.)It does not have the selection that you will find in the big box stores but I dont mind. They have enough to choose from and I do not have to walk two football fields in order to find nails, make keys, or buy paint.I will return.

Review №53

Love this place. For a lady you would be intimidated by all these tools and gathers. I’m a gadget lady. All I need for the home. From light bulbs, nails, pails, brushes, buckets, shopping carts, step ladders, etc. I can spend three hours brainstorming on home projects. It’s a safe place too. Ample parking on a mall.All I can say is NICE!!

Although I did not know what to call what I wanted when I got there the staff was able to help me and direct me to the proper section of the store. Besides the items I was looking for I found another item that I needed but that I didnt know was there.

Review №57

I love this hardware store. They always have what I need, unlike Home Crappot. The staff knows where every obscure item might be (ice cream maker rock salt? Aisle 5! A sink faucet coupling for a portable washing machine hose? They have a whole rack!)The seasonal items are fun, and the key counter is great. They have also ordered certain products for me that they do not regularly stock, and I appreciate that!Check here first before you go to the big box stores, I bet theyve got what you need.
